Nursing is an incredibly rewarding career for those who choose it, and working with acute care patients is one of the most rewarding choices any nurse can make. Slowly, shirts of all shapes and colors and patterns have become the norm. Having to come home however when you would prefer to stay on can be just as difficult so thinking about the length is very important beforehand.Bazilelepphttp://www.career-organizing.com/what-to-wear-for-a-job-interview/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088226422072866788.post-50104504865408177572010-10-22T21:11:01.569-07:002010-10-22T21:11:01.569-07:00Great posts, especially this one – thank you! :-)Great posts, especially this one – thank you! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088226422072866788.post-87647298459804796102010-10-11T10:56:41.915-07:002010-10-11T10:56:41.915-07:00I for one question your credibility, Mr.Geller.

As evidence, I will point out the fact that you spun Mr.Green's words to portray him as less than honest, when in fact, it is you who is less than honest.<br /><br />You distort Green's quote, which was: <i>Geller is going to every media outlet and telling everyone who will listen that the social housing should be sold off because people may not buy condos if there is social housing in the vicinity.</i> <br /><br />Your spin: <i>I have not been approaching 'every media outlet'; however many, including Global TV, the CBC, CKNW, the Globe and Mail, and Vancouver Sun have approached me, because my suggestions which I have been posting on my blog for the past year re: selling the units made sense to many people.</i><br /><br />He never accused you of approaching anyone. But you readily admit that you have been telling everyone who will listen that the social housing should be sold off because people may not buy condos if there is social housing in the vicinity.<br /><br />I just wonder what other distortions are in your repertoire. Perhaps you should run for office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088226422072866788.post-30978002950248342662010-10-10T08:28:48.677-07:002010-10-10T08:28:48.677-07:00Jim Green should be ashamed of himself for what he...Jim Green should be ashamed of himself for what he wrote. Political debate is one thing, but accusing people of being prejudiced and linked to the christian right wing, anti-gay, anti-choice, anti-government movement of the US is completely over the top. I guess as an American himself, Jim would be intimately familiar with these kind of drive by smears. Isn't this supposed to be a debate over civic politics in Vancouver? Maybe Jim is getting caught up in all the hype of the congressional elections being held in his home country.<br /><br />I would be contacting my lawyer if I were Geller or anybody else mentioned in that trashy column. I know that's what Green would do if he were on the receiving end of these lies and spurious attacks. This is a new low, even for Jim. Take it to court I say and let's see if Green wants to back up his claims in front of a judge.

Your expertise, opinions, and experience are much valued. <br />What is HAS changed is to confirm the nasty side of Mr. Green and Vision - it is clear that they will throw anyone "under the bus" when it is convenient for them. This op-ed piece reflects far more negatively on them than on you.Another Michaelnoreply@blogger.com
